Everyone wants to climb leaderboards.

Everyone wants to be this thought leader in crypto.

But 99% wont even do THE BASICS.

> They wont edit their bio to remove spammy content: 💎 Gem Finder 100x , Certified Yapper 💯

> They wont create a unique PFP that helps them stand out from the crowd.

> They wont look for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors in their work.

> They wont pay for a blue checkmark on X.

> They wont ensure they have a decent follower to followed ratio. (2:1)

> They wont read their work out loud to ensure their “voice” is clear. (I always do this)

> They wont stop needlessly tagging dozens of accounts in a post. (This leads to muting and decreased post reach)

> They wont stop playing follow for follow games and focus on meaningful connections.

> They wont use their replies to ask INSIGHTFUL questions to big accounts.

> They wont remember to save their first DM as an “elevator pitch” for networking.

> They wont look for ways to stand out (a niche) instead of posting the same things that everyone else is.

> They wont remember that not all “big accounts are equal” and some are easier to network with than others.

> They wont give up time on video games and TV to read about new projects and increase their knowledge.

The lesson here: Introspection.

I know it’s easy to blame leaderboards.

To be mad you are not top of the Kaito, Yapyo or whatever board.

But the truth is you CAN do this.

You can climb the leaderboard.

You can be an influencer.

You can be a thought leader in this space.

But you have to stop taking shortcuts.

You must look inward:

> Reflect on how you can better

> Get better

> Overcome the obstacles in your path (unfair leaderboards, bag algos, whatever)

This is the only way.

Dozens in your shoes have done it before.

I’ve been here a long time. I remember when accounts like @boldleonidas and @waleswoosh were still tiny.

Commit to it, and I promise the results will come.
